How does the feature to automatically turn on the unit when you turn on your TV work? Is it based on receiving a signal from input or from a remote?

... this has nothing to do with the remote 'learn mode'. From what I read, it will 'sleep' if no signal for several minutes, then wake up upon signal. Waiting for mine to arrive, so will know more shortly.

You put the unit in learn mode. Then it listens to buttons pressed on the remote to train. Read the instructions. It is all there.

I receive my tv from ComCast and use their remote. Yes, it powers on/off with the tv.

When you first plug it in and turn it on, it automatically configures the analog and.or digital cable channels. Be sure to plug in the cable or HDMI before turning it on for the first time.

Once programmed with other device codes such as DVD unit, it successfully turns the unit on and off (after pushing the DVD button). Unable to use it with a very old stereo amplifier since none of product codes work and I would expect the coding is for more modern equipment. The codes can be found on line at Vizio by looking for your TV/remote users manual.

Thanks, M. Squires - much appreciated. I expect that I'll be using a Harmony remote, but presumably that just replicates the TV remote's own signal. If you find definitively that this either does or doesn't work, I'd love to know.

Mine worked right away. If your remote isn't functioning correctly, it could be you have a different model tv or the remote is defective.

It automatically switches when it receives a signal. If you have 2 devices on at the same time, you would need the remote to switch them. Otherwise, you would need to turn one device off, then turn the other one on.

It does it by using the remote. I bought it for my mother, she is in a nursing home and loves it.

No, you do not but it does not work out of the box. I lost my Apple TV remote so I could not turn it on, as instructed by the User Guide. I called their 800 number and they had me follow the Direct Code Entry instructions (with the Apple TV off). They had me enter the code 31146 for the Apple TV.

you need to set tv to antenna,then click auto program,then you may need to move antenna around to get signal.

You can through the AV or Component or hdmi source...then pick that input to activate/recognize it

mine always goes to whatever settings the source is set to. does yours always turn every tv in the house on when you switch sources?

The way that I program my remotes involves the actual opener. I push the program button on the opener and the light blinks then I push the remote button, then the program button (once or twice) and that is it. The remote auto programs and works. Hope this helps.

It will turn on automatically - I used an outlet-based remote to turn it on and off and it worked great.

It really does not work very well, I have to switch manually every time. Sometimes it might work but it depends on what type of devices you are connecting, because as long as I could realize, this works checking the voltage a device send to the unit and then it switch. If no voltage or all devices are sending a sending a voltage signal, it will no switch. That's the problem :/

I don't know if this is any help but you should be careful to hit the on/off button just once. This unit is molasses slow especially when you turn it on. You may be hitting the button more than once and accidentally turning the television back on.

No, it doesn't. If your using the the TV remote, that's the only emitter that will be transmitting. So, in other words it only works when your using the remote that you want to use. Hope this helps you.
